Biography

The elder of two daughters, Zrinka Cvitešić was born in Karlovac, in the Karlovac County to Ivan and Višnja Cvitešić. Her mother played organ in a local Catholic parish near her hometown. Cvitešić started acting at elementary school and her first role was Cinderella.[1] As a theatre actress, she has been a member of the Croatian National Theatre since 2005. In April 2013, Cvitešić made her West End debut at the Phoenix Theatre in London as "Girl" in the musical Once. Her performance received rave reviews, and she won Laurence Olivier Award for Best Actress in a Musical.[2]

For her performance in the 2005 film What Is a Man Without a Moustache?, Cvitešić won awards for best actress in a leading role both at the 53rd Pula Film Festival[3] and the 11th Sarajevo Film Festival.[4] She received the Shooting Stars Award, the annual acting award for up-and-coming actors by European Film Promotion, at the 60th Berlin International Film Festival in 2010.[5] Cvitešić has been a recipient of Golden Arena, the top prize at Pula Film Festival for her work in the film On the Path.

Other than her eminent role in Croatian theatre, film and television, she is active as a voice actress.[6] Her prolific voice acting range includes over twenty credits in Croatian dubs for animated films, including Princess Jasmine in the Aladdin franchise, Gloria in the Madagascar franchise, Ciara in the Lion King franchise and Beans in Rango.[7]

Cvitešić was in relationship with Croatian musician Hrvoje Rupčić, but they broke up in 2014.[8] She has been dating footballer Niko Kranjčar since they met in 2014.[9]

gollark: CPUs are mostly fine. Maybe with FPGAs onboard for accelerating some tasks, like how we use GPUs.
gollark: Not everything can be redone in the RAM-limited combinatorial-logicky way.
gollark: For the tasks computers do, which would probably be nontrivial to rework with the very different capabilities of FPGAs, CPUs on dedicated silicon can't be beaten *by* FPGAs.
gollark: I'm pretty sure they're essentially required to be somewhat worse power/perf-wise than ASICs implementing the same thing.
gollark: Semiconductor production is literally the most capital intensive industry.
